Take a drink of pure cold water before
breakfast.
Chronic coughs, of obscure origin, may
frequently be found due to collections of
impacted wax in one or both ears, and
will be relieved by its removal.
Celery boiled in milk and eaten with
the milk served as a beverage, is said to
be a cure for rheumatism, govt, and a
specific in case of smallpox. Nervous
people find comfort in celery.
A horse cannot be kept sleek, no mat
ter how much grooming may be be-
slowed, without abundant exercise. A
horse needs his blood warmed up every
day toakeep his system properly regu-
lated, and to make his hair lie down and
be bright and sleek.
How to make egg bread: Rub well to-
gether ont quart of meal, one-fourth ofa
pound of butter; add one quart of milk,
and stir until free from Jumps; beat four
eggs very light and add to the batter a
teaspoonful of salt. Beat we'll and bake
in a hot oven,
The quantity of seed per acre must be
controlled by the following conditions:
Early or ~lateness of sowing, and size Of
the grain Of wheat sown, Cess will be re-
CURED in small grains than where they
are large-sized), and richness Of the
field sown. Richer land requires less
seed than poor land. The reader will
see that he must use his judgment to
find the proper quantity of seed TO use
per acre.
An old woodsman of Australia, who
used to catch snakes for pastime, says
that raw onions bruised and applied as
loon as possible to the wound is GER
tain cure for the bite of all the veno
nous serpents of that country, except
the death adder, which he admits is 80
poisonous and its poison Is 80 quick in
acting that there is no known remedy
for it. That the onion is a specific for
the sting ofpoisonous insects ofall kinds,
has long been known to the writer of
this paragraph, who, when a boy, in.
variably carried M o expeditions with
companions against hornets nests, etc.
1t was found thatthe application of onion
juice would instantly allay the pain
caused by the stinsing ofhornets, yellow
jackets. wasps, bees, etc.
Much loss has occurred to dairy farm
ers from trying to breed for milk and
butter exclusively on the female side.
If an extra good COW has q heifer calf. it
will probably DO saved, and its milking
character will mainly depend on the in
herited pfepotency of Its sire. The bull
calves from the best mixers are gen.
orally turned off to the butchers as ofn
value. Yet for breeders Of dairy stock
these bull calves are very likely more
valuable than they would be III heifers
1t is the fact that value for the dairy is
more than likely to be transmitted
through the male line that makes the
improvement of dairy stock 80 easy.
Select your best cows, breed to a Jersey
or Holstein bull. and the progeny,
whether male or female, will be we'll
worth raising.
In most cases, except violent injury or
winterkill, where trees have died, it will
be found due to a want of fitness of soil.
We have learned that an apple tree
would not thrive where one had died.
Where there is an untitness of soil, the
new tree set will be sure to suffer from
the same causes as the first, and will al
80 fail, not from death or disease inheri-
ted from the tree, but from the natural
soil which gives rise to those diseases
and will produce them again. : We have
seen healthy trees cut down, and others
planted in the same place, as near the
old stump as possible and grow finely.
We have also seen tree after tree planted
in certain parts of the same orchard, and
all failed. A friend If OURS planted a
peach orchard last year, and in n spot
ten trees refused to grow. The trees
we're all replaced this year, and all
failed, and probably would again. The
rest of the entire orchard grows finely.
We have two spots on III farm that will
not grow grass or grain, although they
are MANFRED the same as the other parts
Of the farm. These places will also be
found in growing timber. where trees
will not thrive. 1t is due largely to the
mechanical condition of the soil as well
as the chemical composition. These
barren spots often occur in fertile fields
snd are a puzzle to many.-Ex.
